Come on'! Jump in! The Water is just fine!
I've been reading lately between A.W. Tozer, The Counselor and A. B. Simpson, Christ In You, and have been filled with a lot of good straight talk on faith, what it is and what is expected. The Counselor talks a great deal of specifics on The Holy Spirit, "the promise of the Father", that was sent to the original apostles as a gift. This Spirit of God has never stopped flowing and is available to all who call on Jesus, Yeshua as Lord and Savior. I was particularly interested in what Tozer spelled out as the process of being "filled" based on several scriptures - that of offering up our bodies as living vessels, asking for the Spirit to Come, being obedient to what the Spirit leads and having faith. The combination of the two books is really a blessing because the concept of faith is also illustrated in these two books as that of a river. The River of God's Will. When we jump into His River, we go with His flow and follow as He leads. We are the ones that change to become His purpose here for us. This is how He is glorified ~ through our filling and then outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
Be Blessed,
